Dad Shot and Killed His Twin Teen Daughters Before Turning Gun on Himself

An Illinois man shot and killed his twin teen daughters turning the gun on himself on Friday evening, according to police.

Randall Coffland, 48, fatally shot his daughters, Brittany and Tiffany Coffland, 16, and shot and wounded his wife, Anjum Coffland, before calling police and saying he would kill himself at about 5 p.m. inside the family’s Chicago condominium.

"When I walked across the street I had heard screams. I looked up and I noticed in that apartment they had the door open and I was thinking that's weird because it was so cold outside," she told WGN-TV.

St. Charles East High School, where the twins were enrolled, asked students in a Facebook post to wear purple or blue to school Monday to honor the girls. The school was also open Saturday to provide grief counseling to students.
